Abstract
Salmonella is a common intestinal pathogen that can cause food poisoning and intestinal disease. The high prevalence of Salmonella necessitates efficient and sensitive methods for its identification, detection, and monitoring, especially of viable Salmonella. Conventional culture methods need to be more laborious and time-consuming. And they are relatively limited in their ability to detect Salmonella in the viable but non-culturable status if present in the sample to be tested. As a result, there is an increasing need for rapid and accurate techniques to detect viable Salmonella spp. This paper reviewed the status and progress of various methods reported in recent years that can be used to detect viable Salmonella, such as culture-based methods, molecular methods targeting RNAs and DNAs, phage-based methods, biosensors, and some techniques that have the potential for future application. This review can provide researchers with a reference for additional method options and help facilitate the development of rapid and accurate assays. In the future, viable Salmonella detection approaches will become more stable, sensitive, and fast and are expected to play a more significant role in food safety and public health.

Abstract
Struvite formed from digested poultry slurries can serve as an alternative to chemical fertilizers; however, the biological safety of such products is questionable. Therefore, quantification and inactivation of foodborne pathogens existing in struvite are important. Herein, the dynamics of foodborne pathogens' (Streptococcus faecalis, S. typhimurium, Clostridium perfringens, and Escherichia coli) living status, whether culturable and viable but non-culturable (VBNC) in struvite, were quantified for the first time. Meanwhile, inactivation technologies, namely high-humidity hot air impingement blanching (HHAIB), cold plasma, and hot air treatment, were evaluated and compared for their potential to inactivate/kill foodborne pathogens in struvite. An increase in precipitation pH from 9.0 to 11.0 decreased the culturable count of pathogens in the struvite from 75 to 86% to 7-20%, while the VBNC pathogen counts increased from 16 to 24% to 35-55%. Among the tested inactivation technologies, the HHAIB treatment at 130 °C for 120 s killed approximately 68-79% of foodborne pathogens in struvite precipitated at pH 9.0. VBNC pathogens increased from 16 to 24% to 57-68% after HHAIB treatment at 130 °C for 120 s. Struvite treatment with different inactivation technologies did not change its crystalline structure; however, it reduced functional group abundance. Therefore, further research on inactivation technologies is required to achieve better pathogen reduction efficiency in struvite to make it a biologically safe fertilizer for crop production.

Abstract
Bacteria may enter into a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state as a response to stresses, such as those found in food processing. Cells in the VBNC state lose the ability to grow in a conventional culture medium but man recover culturability. The viability, culturability and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) of Salmonella Enteritidis and Shigella flexneri were evaluated under stress conditions to induce a VBNC state. Cells were maintained under nutritional, osmotic and cold stresses (long-term induction) in Butterfield's phosphate solution plus 1.2 M of NaCl at 4°C and under nutritional and oxidative stresses (short-term induction) in 10 mM of H2O2. Culture media, recovery agents, sterilization methods of media and incubation temperature, were combined and applied to recover the culturability of the VBNC cells. Salmonella entered in the VBNC state after 135 days under long-term induction, while Shigella maintained culturability after 240 days. Under short-term induction, Salmonella and Shigella lose culturability after 135 and 240 min, respectively. Flow cytometric analysis revealed viable cells and intracellular ROS in both species in VBNC. It was not possible to recover the culturability of VBNC cells using the 42 combinations of different factors.

Abstract
Viable but nonculturable (VBNC) microorganisms have been recognized as pathogenic contaminants in foods and environments. The failure of VBNC cells to form the visible colonies hinders the ability to use conventional media for their detection. Efficient and rapid detection of pathogens in the VBNC state is a prerequisite to ensure the food safety and public health. Despite their nonculturability, VBNC cells have distinct characteristics, such as morphology, metabolism, chemical composition, and gene and protein expression, that have been used as the basis for the development of abundant diagnostic tools. This review covers the current status and advances in various approaches for examining microorganisms in the VBNC state, including but not limited to the methodological aspects, advantages, and drawbacks of each technique. Existing methods, such as direct viable count, SYTO/PI dual staining, and propidium monoazide quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), as well as some techniques with potential to be applied in the future, such as digital PCR, enhanced-surface Raman spectroscopy, and impedance-based techniques, are summarized in depth. Finally, future prospects for the one-step detection of VBNC bacteria are proposed and discussed. We believe that this review can provide more optional methods for researchers and promote the development of rapid, accurate detecting methods, and for inspectors, the diagnostic tools can provide data to undertake risk analysis of VBNC cells.

Abstract
Many bacteria, including Escherichia coli, are known to enter into a viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state when exposed to harsh environmental stresses. The VBNC cells introduced by chlorination/chloramination have raised increasing concern about biological safety of drinking water. A quantitative relationship between chlorination/chloramination and number of VBNC cells has not been found. In this study, a mathematical model was developed to quantify the effect of chlorination/chloramination on induction of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) Escherichia coli. the model was generated based on a first order kinetics of chlorination/chloramination using the data collected from laboratory disinfection experiments. The disinfection rates of culturable cells (kc ) and viable cells (kv ) were dose-dependent, and they were also modelled in different initial concentrations by regression analysis to overcome the shortcoming of dose-dependent. In general, the kc and kv values for chlorination (kc , 2.59-29.89 h-1; kv , 19.52-26.74 h-1) was 2-58 times greater than that for chloramination (kc , 0.5446-10.81 h-1; kv , 0.3398-14.57 h-1), suggesting that chlorine was more effective than chloramine in reducing the number of culturable and VBNC cells at same dose of disinfectant. Ultimately, the generated models, which could describe the dynamics of VBNC cells formation in chlorination/chloramination, can provide practical guidance in drinking water treatment and it can also be applied to risk assessment of drinking water management systems.

Abstract
Numerous bacteriophages-viruses of bacteria, also known as phages-have been described for hundreds of bacterial species. The Gram-negative Shigella species are close relatives of Escherichia coli, yet relatively few previously described phages appear to exclusively infect this genus. Recent efforts to isolate Shigella phages have indicated these viruses are surprisingly abundant in the environment and have distinct genomic and structural properties. In addition, at least one model system used for experimental evolution studies has revealed a unique mechanism for developing faster infection cycles. Differences between these bacteriophages and other well-described model systems may mirror differences between their hosts' ecology and defense mechanisms. In this review, we discuss the history of Shigella phages and recent developments in their isolation and characterization and the structural information available for three model systems, Sf6, Sf14, and HRP29; we also provide an overview of potential selective pressures guiding both Shigella phage and host evolution.

Abstract
Despite the development of on-farm anaerobic digestion as a process for making profitable use of animal by-products, factors leading to the inactivation of pathogenic bacteria during storage of digestates remain poorly described. Here, a microcosm approach was used to evaluate the persistence of three pathogenic bacteria (Salmonella enterica Derby, Campylobacter coli and Listeria monocytogenes) in digestates from farms, stored for later land spreading. Nine samples, including raw digestates, liquid fractions of digestate and composted digestates, were inoculated with each pathogen and maintained for 40 days at 24°C. Concentrations of pathogens were monitored using culture and qPCR methods. The persistence of L. monocytogenes, detected up to 20 days after inoculation, was higher than that of Salmonella Derby, detected for 7-20 days, and of C. coli (not detected after 7 days). In some digestates, the concentration of the pathogens by qPCR assay was several orders of magnitude higher than the concentration of culturable cells, suggesting a potential loss of culturability and induction of Viable but Non-Culturable (VBNC) state. The potential VBNC state which was generally not observed in the same digestate for the three pathogens, occurred more frequently for C. coli and L. monocytogenes than for Salmonella Derby. Composting a digestate reduced the persistence of seeded L. monocytogenes but promoted the maintenance of Salmonella Derby. The effect of NH[Formula: see text]/NH3 on the culturability of C. coli and Salmonella Derby was also shown. The loss of culturability may be the underlying mechanism for the regrowth of pathogens. We have also demonstrated the importance of using molecular tools to monitor pathogens in environmental samples since culture methods may underestimate cell concentration. Our results underline the importance of considering VBNC cells when evaluating the sanitary effect of an anaerobic digestion process and the persistence of pathogens during the storage of digestates and subsequent land spreading.
